Strange Victory, Strange Defeat Lyrics - Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea - Silver Jews

Silver Jews 

Lookout Mountain Lookout Sea 

Strange Victory Strange Defeat 

Squirrels imported from Connecticut 

Just in time for fall 

How much fun is a lot more fun? 

Not much fun at all 

What's with all the handsome grandsons 

In these rock band magazines? 

And what have they done with the fat ones? 

The bald and the goatee'd? 

Strange victory! 

Strange victory! 

Strange victory! 

Strange defeat 

A tale is told of a band of squirrels 

Who lived in defiance of defeat 

They woke up in the nightmare world 

Of craven mediocrity 

They said, "We're coming out of the black patch! 

We're coming out of the pocket! 

We're calling into question 

Such virtue gone to seed!" 

Chorus (x2)
